male presenting anglo canadian here, every interaction i have ever had is in some way tinged with white supremacy and male privilege. i've been treated better and assumed by default to be more competent than non-whites pretty much every day.

also like have you ever talked to another white person? if a white person or man talks to someone they assume shares their values they say the worst shit. i thought it was funny when libs were condemning trumps "locker room talk" defense like it's so unbelievable to them that men would discuss sexual assault like that in a male space. "i've never heard anything like that in a locker room." you are lying. most white men are thinking and saying the worst possible things at any given moment.

non-white people can tell by the way they are treated by white people and western society that white supremacy is the thread that binds the western world together. but if you look like them, they will just tell you straight up their terrible ideas assuming you will agree. if you cant figure it out when you actively benefit from it daily, if you cant notice that you're being held to a different standard by other white people daily, if you cant figure it out when they LOOK FOR EXCUSES TO TELL YOU, than i dunno how much self-crit is gonna help. at that point it seems like an empathy problem

if you identify as an anarchist or a communist and also identify with your whiteness, you missed something, probably a lot of things, along the way. try to be more perceptive geez.

love to my comrades of every skin colour and gender identity, death to the first world and any framework including race used to justify it

    I'm a tall bearded almost ginger mountain fucker that lives in the Bible belt. It regularly takes under 5 minutes for the quiet part to become out loud, always because I agree with the most innocuous shit.

    "Blah blah can't find a better job"

    Yeah man the job market sucks, when I worked at Target..... (blah blah)

    "yea it's too bad target funds antifa terrorists!"

    (real example after two minutes of conversation at like 10:45 am)

      You sound like you've got a double edged sword. Chuds might clock you as one of their own, but also they might be wary of messing with you if you're tall and big? I'm short and effeminate so often my leftist ramblings get easily dismissed or answered with actionable threads.

      I hate people who feel comfortable saying slurs or deranged fascist stuff in public

        Sometimes I just happen to ramble on the subject of how difficult it was to get my CCL and how licensing is an excuse to cage poor nonwhite people who need to carry but face structural barriers to doing so legally. I almost never carry but they don't know that
